"ONS figures showed that for 2021, the median average salary for train and tram drivers was £59,189."
"Looking at data just from January 2022, which is compiled by the HMRC and ONS, we can see that the average salary is estimated at £24,600"
Need to borrow my calculator? |
No, my question was 'Why do you think they earn twice the national average?' Do you need to borrow my glasses? [Post edited 16 Jul 2022 19:06]

What could they possibly argue? |
I don't know! That's what I'm saying. |  |

Ah, I thought you were 'one of them'. Well, you are 'one of them' in a football sense, but I thought you were 'one of them' in a political sense, if that makes sense... | |

they are already well paid and will be less impacted by inflation than lower paid key workers who do more demanding, dangerous and stressful jobs - I think others are far more deserving of pay rises tbh.
Anyway this wasn't intended to be a political thread but it's been hijacked and turned into one so I'm out.
Enjoy your evening. |
Having a pop at striking train drivers is "politics" - you're contributing to the "hijacking". |  | | |

I think it's fair to say I'm to the right of you, but definitely not of the right! | |

Rubbish.
You're whining for the sake of it.
Skip's pointed out it's the 30th because it may affect people trying to get to the game.
You're being petty. |
I am not being petty. I just feel the OP has started a relevant post about fans getting to games. The usual suspects have turned it into a typical bash the government political thread. I was making a point about getting organized to help fans who can't get to Shrewsbury to get there. |  | | |

The OP didn't say anything about fans getting to games, he just posted a link to the story. |  |

Other way round, surely? The first political post is one laying into the unions.
Usually try to limit how much politics I talk on here (and avoid the general forum for that reason), but I'm an old fashioned trade union guy and if you come for my brothers and sisters I'm going to tell you the facts of life! [Post edited 17 Jul 2022 10:23]

I am the Op and I posted it in the football thread to give fans a heads up - if it was political I'd have posted it in the General forum and added a political comment...jeez... |  | | |

The OP was fine, it's Bloots' post further down that kicked it off. | |

Wasn't having a go at your OP and didn't know what section it was in. | |
